For 250 years, the American flag has stood as a symbol of freedom because generations of brave men and women were willing to fight, sacrifice, and, for many, give their lives to protect it. This Independence Day, we remember those heroes whose courage secured the blessings of liberty we enjoy today.

This photo takes us back to circa 1976, when Phillips Contracting’s Ready Mix division proudly displayed the American flag across its fleet in celebration of America’s bicentennial birthday. As our nation marks 250 years of freedom, we’re proud to celebrate our own 80-year milestone of building infrastructure across the communities we call home.

We’re proud of where we’ve been, grateful for those who built our legacy, and excited for what lies ahead. Happy Independence Day, and God Bless America! 🇺🇸

Phillips Contracting is a family-owned company providing construction services in Northeast MS.

Decades of dedication have built more than the roads, bridges, and projects we’re proud of, they’ve built the foundation of who we are. Our veteran leaders have spent their careers setting the standard, sharing their knowledge, and investing in the next generation. Their mentorship is building the future leaders who will carry our industry forward.

Before the project ever kicks off, our lowboy drivers are already on the road hauling the iron that keeps us moving. Their dedication keeps our crews productive, our projects on track, and our operations moving forward.

Phillips Contracting was honored to partner with Bill Russell Ford and Barnhart Crane and Rigging on the installation of an 80-foot flagpole. As America prepares to celebrate its 250th birthday, this project serves as a powerful symbol of patriotism, freedom, and the values that have united our nation for generations.

We’re grateful for the opportunity to help create a landmark that will proudly display the Stars and Stripes for years to come. Here’s to celebrating 250 years of American history and looking forward to the future together.

🇺🇸 God Bless America. 🇺🇸

Rain days don’t stop progress, they give us the opportunity to sharpen our skills and invest in our people. Our team spent the day completing First Aid and CPR training because safety will always come first on our job sites. We’re proud of our crew for taking the time to learn skills that help protect one another both on and off the job.

Today we’re proud to celebrate an incredible milestone - 45 years with Phillips Contracting for Ulysses Washington, better known by his work family as “Goat.” He started with Phillips on April 20, 1981, picking up sticks and limbs. From the very beginning, he showed a willingness to work and a drive to learn. Over the years, he worked his way up through every piece of equipment.

Known by his crew as dedicated, loyal, and hardworking, Goat is someone you can always count on. His consistency, knowledge, and work ethic have made him a cornerstone of the company. With guidance early on from leaders like Mr. James Cole and Mr. Terry Holcomb, he built a career that reflects what hard work and commitment can achieve. He’s not just known for his work, but for the memories made along the way, like pranking coworkers during lunch breaks and keeping the jobsite full of camaraderie.

Outside of work, Ulysses enjoys fishing and hunting, and in his younger years, he spent time riding horses and roping calves, always with a little friendly competition and betting involved. Today, his greatest motivation comes from his wife Earleane, his three children, and his nine grandchildren. When asked what advice he would give to someone coming up in the field, he keeps it simple: “If you want to learn and work, you have to be willing to show up every day. If you put in the work, you can make a great career in this field.”

Congratulations on 45 years!! 👏
